I would love to do the registartion table, how do I get in on that? I am a college student on a budget and I really want to do this!

My Big Suggestion

Principled Discovery — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 23:21:51 -0600

My big suggestion would be to come to Kansas City. It is right here in the Heartland, and it has plenty of conference space. And lots of bloggers who are willing to drive a few hours, but may find the 2-3 day drive West or East a little difficult.

Plus it is only 45 minutes from my parents. I know you just forgot to include my schedule in this year's line up of events. :)

Can help with Portland!

Activistas — Sat, 25 Oct 2008 09:19:57 -0500

I live in Portland - if you need any venue visiting help or that kind of thing, I'd be happy to help. Perfect weather (yeah, no humifiy, and no rain then, either). Easy to get around w/o a car. Best rated airport in the country for 2 years running. And the people are notably nice. Plus, an hour-ish from the coast for those who want to combine it with a vacation. Loads of kid-friendly activities. Ok, I know the voting is over. Anyway, let me know if help is needed. Thanks for all you do! Lisa

It's good to know it comes across the way I want it to. This weekend was the first time I was with a group of people who didn't need an explanation of what a blog is first, so I had never really practiced my actual blog pitch before!

You may not have had business cards

sassymonkey — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 08:41:30 -0500

But you did a really good job of explaining and pitching your blog. I remembered it. The "creating a life worth living" line that you use is great and immediately made me want to read it. Great job.

Blogging Basics: 6 steps... notes and slides

Liz Henry — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 06:58:24 -0500

Here's my notes on what happened at this session:

http://liz-henry.blogspot.com/2008/10/liveblogging-take-two.html

There's a lot I missed, especially in the questions and in what my fellow panelists said. Did anyone else post notes?

The entire first hour we were all in one group. Maybe our intrepid liveblogger had technical difficulties! 8-)

I arrived home about 2 hours ago (a skosh less than 6 hours on the way home - not bad at all!) and I look forward to reading all of the liveblogs once I unpack and get some pajamas on.

Thank you for bringing BlogHer to the East Coast. Washington DC? You ladies are in for a real treat!

Yes, thanks!

I hope it becomes an annual event too - it was great to meet other bloggers who actually live in my area, and I am definitely going to use what I learned to work on taking my blog to the next level. Now I have to go look through all the cards I collected yesterday and check out the blogs of people I met (and note to self: get a card for my blog before the next Reach Out tour!).

Not only was the conference an amazing experience, thanks to the live bloggers I can learn from the sessions I was not in.

Thank you all for your hard work, and I hope the Reach Out Tour becomes an annual event!

But perhaps there is a market for cookie magazines?

KristySF — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 07:45:25 -0500

Erm, or maybe I'm just hungry. :)

Great seeing you!

Thanks to everyone who made the effort to liveblog these sessions for those of us who could not attend.

Liveblogging is challenging, and I really appreciate your efforts (and the quick turn around.)

Enjoy the cocktail party!
